In the meantime, we shall be closed from today, 23 December, returning on Tuesday 3 January.

Of course, we'll keep one eye on the news wires throughout the festive period, keeping you posted on any big stories, should they arise.

Finally, I'd like to send all just-drinks subscribers my heartfelt thanks for all your support in 2016. It continues to be a privilege to report on this great industry of ours, and I'm looking forward hugely to a lively 2017, which no doubt will provide its fair share of ups, downs, thrills and spills.

For now, though, on behalf of the whole just-drinks team, may I wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas.
